Chichester City Arts Centre LLP

Chichester City Arts Centre offers a distinctive, flexible space for organisers looking for a venue in the heart of Chichester. Set within the former St Bartholomew's Church, this Grade II listed building combines historic character with facilities suited to a wide range of gatherings.

The main hall can accommodate up to 120 people and is suitable for private celebrations, children's parties, anniversaries, reunions, community meetings, training sessions, exhibitions, music events and theatre productions. It can also host activities such as dance, yoga and other classes, making it useful for both one-off occasions and regular bookings. The room measures approximately 13 by 8.5 metres, with an adjoining reception area in the former vestry where guests can wait or refreshments can be served.

Facilities include a small kitchen, accessible toilet, shower and toilet, Wi-Fi, and areas for storing equipment. The upstairs gallery retains the church's original organ, while the building's painted ceiling and historic architectural details give events a memorable setting. There is also an enclosed outdoor area and limited accessible parking at the front. Further parking is available nearby, with the city centre and public transport within easy reach.

Organisers can check availability and request a booking through the online calendar. The venue is available for hire for events and meetings, with access arrangements and the facilities making it adaptable for community groups, families, arts organisations and businesses. Its mix of heritage surroundings and practical space makes it a versatile choice for events in Chichester.
